Special takes you to the action in Jackson

Friday, September 6, 2013 -- Bill Burke

We've been looking for an excuse to head back to Wyoming after spending a week in Jackson Hole last summer.

This might be it.

Jackson Hole visitors can tour remote backcountry wildlife in Grand Teton National Park with a new fall lodging-and-tour package from the Wyoming Inn. Located minutes from Jackson’s Town Square, the Wyoming Inn is offering a new package that allows guests to track bear, moose, bald eagles and more on a guided tour through the park’s pristine alpine terrain by day, returning to the hotel’s luxurious comforts by night.

The Fall Wildlife package, available October 10 to November 30, 2013, includes three nights lodging and a full-day ecotour for two, offered by local sustainable tour company Eco-Tour Adventures, for $389.99 per person (double occupancy).

Between wildlife sightings, the tour will stop for lunch at one of the park’s venerable lodges – either overlooking Jackson Lake at the Signal Mountain Lodge or at Dornan’s overlooking the Snake River with the magnificent Teton Mountain Range in the background.

The Wyoming Inn recently completed a four-year, down-to-the-studs renovation of its 68 guest rooms at a cost of approximately $70,000 per room. And guests can start their day in the wild with breakfast in the hotel’s freshly remodeled breakfast restaurant, featuring a fresh new menu with local and organic offerings.
